[edit]Wikipedia:Articles for deletion reviews, although frequently limited to Internet resources, must remain aware that a large amount of significant published material has not been posted on the Internet. This is particularly true of materials published in languages other than English and of maps, gazetteers and such. In such cases notability may be established through review of such resources.
